Watch rescue workers save a dog trapped in an icy pond

Rescue workers plunged into the ice cold waters of the Charles River in Wellesley, Mass., to rescue a 5-year-old golden retriever that had fallen into the freezing water.

The dog, named Crosby, had become stranded in the water after falling through the ice on the partially frozen river on Sunday. A firefighter wearing an emergency cold water survival suit swam out to meet the dog, who was stuck about 50 yards from shore, according to Boston Magazine.

Wellesley police released video of the dramatic rescue and announced on Twitter that Crosby is “at home, resting and doing well.”
